KHS: On Saturday, October 14th, the KHS medical students braved the soaking rain to travel to Verona Park. They were tasked with setting up the park for the statewide walk for The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. It was their annual Light The Night walk to raise funds for blood cancers. One of the event coordinators reached out to see if the students of KHS were interested in assisting the day of the walk. Thirty-five students volunteered from the medical class and showed up to work in different shifts. They were given different tasks such as putting together lanterns to be released over the lake as well as decorate the tents and set up lighting for the walkways. Students received community service hours and certificates. The event coordinators were so impressed with the students from Kearny High School that they asked if they could come to some of the other events. The rain did not deter the students. They were so determined to complete their jobs and did a phenomenal job. Thanks to the Kearny Board of Education for providing us with transportation to get us to and from the park. Great Job everyone!!!!!!
